Macdonald–Stanley conjecture on Jack polynomial coefficients

Let λ\lambda and μ\mu be partitions, and let mi(μ)m_i(\mu) denote the multiplicity of the part ii in μ\mu. Define

v~λμ(α)=vλμ(α)i1mi(μ)!,\widetilde v_{\lambda \mu}(\alpha)=\frac{v_{\lambda\mu}(\alpha)}{\prod_{i\geq 1}m_i(\mu)!},

where vλμ(α)v_{\lambda\mu}(\alpha) are the coefficients defined in equation (4). Macdonald–Stanley conjecture. The quantities v~λμ(α)\widetilde v_{\lambda\mu}(\alpha) are polynomials in α\alpha with nonnegative integer coefficients. This conjecture concerns the positivity and integrality of the coefficients occurring in the expansion of Jack polynomials; the supplied source does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
